Canaan Valley is an oval, bowl-like upland valley in northeastern Tucker County, West Virginia, USA. Within it are extensive wetlands and the headwaters of the Blackwater River which spills out of the valley at Blackwater Falls. It is a well-known and partially undeveloped scenic attraction and tourist draw, associated with the Canaan Valley Resort State Park and the Blackwater Falls State Park.
Canaan Valley was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974. The National Park Service citation indicates that the Valley is "a splendid 'museum' of Pleistocene habitats... contain... an aggregation of these habitats seldom found in the eastern United States. It is unique as a northern boreal relict community at this latitude by virtue of its size, elevation and diversity." Since 1994, almost 70% of the Valley has become the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, the nation's 500th National Wildlife Refuge.
The local pronunciation of "Canaan" is, rather than the conventional for the Biblical region from which the area takes its name.
The Valley, nestled among the higher ranges of the Allegheny Mountains, is about 13mi long and 3mi to 5mi wide. It is defined by Canaan Mountain to the west and Cabin Mountain to the east. The Valley encompasses approximately 25,000 acres (although the greater Valley ecosystem is sometimes considered to consist of about 36,000 acres). The average valley floor elevation is 3200ft above sea level, making it the highest sizable valley east of the Mississippi River. The surrounding mountains extend upward an additional 1250ft to 4,450 ft. (1,356 m) at the summit of Weiss Knob on the southeastern rim of the valley.

Clean and spacious room. A bit of a walk to get to the lobby. Beautiful outdoor sitting area off the lobby. This is a full service hotel with restaurant and bar so no free breakfast. There was coffee in the lobby but only until 7 am. We did use the jacuzzi and it was excellent. There is an indoor pool and and outdoor one (available in the summer).

Remember to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏm when booking a room. They compare hundreds of booking websites and typically will have prices a lot cheaper compared to others! You're welcome :)! This place is one of the highest rated in this area. I've been staying here for a very long time. If you stay for a few nights you for sure won't regret it. WOW! Amazing campground with full hookups. I wouldn’t change anything. Loved our site. Super level, loved the friendly workers and oh the scenery. They were putting new sites i so the 7:00 am gravel dump was a pain but still… amazing time.
